Weekend Weather Forecast for London

As we head into the weekend, Londoners should prepare for predominantly cloudy skies with sporadic rainfall across the city. The temperatures are set to cool slightly as the weekend progresses, with varying levels of precipitation lingering on each day. Here's a detailed outlook of the weather forecast for Friday through Sunday, including some advice on commuting and planning your weekend activities.

Friday Expect a predominantly cloudy day, punctuated by periodic rain showers. The maximum temperature is forecast at 16°C, with a low of 13°C. Humidity levels will be high, remaining at 85%, which might contribute to a rather damp feeling throughout the day. Precipitation chance stands high at 100%, so you'll need to have your umbrella handy. Winds will be brisk, reaching speeds of up to 23 mph, which might add a slight chill to the air.

Saturday The weather on Saturday will be partly cloudy, with chances of rain predominantly in the early morning hours. Temperatures will see a slight dip, with a maximum of 15°C and a minimum of 10°C. The air will be slightly less humid compared to Friday, with a value of around 78%. There is a substantial chance of rain at 97%, so it might still be a good idea to carry an umbrella. Winds will continue to be relatively strong, clocking at around 22 mph.

Sunday Sunday will see similar partly cloudy conditions with rain anticipated in the morning. It will be a cooler day with the maximum temperature peaking at 12°C and dropping to as low as 7°C. Humidity remains in the high zone at 80%, though less rainfall is expected, with the probability of precipitation decreasing to 77%. Winds will ease to a more moderate 13 mph, creating a cooler but less windy day.

Commuting Advice If you're commuting over the weekend, the consistent probability of rain advises carrying an umbrella and planning for potentially wet and windy conditions. Be cautious of slippery roads and reduced visibility during heavy showers, especially on Friday and early Saturday morning. Allow extra travel time to account for possible delays.

Advice for Weekend Plans With rain and cloudy skies forecast for much of the weekend, planning indoor activities or having rain gear accessible for outdoor plans would be wise. If you're considering outdoor excursions, the later part of Sunday might offer the most favourable conditions, given the easing of wind and rain. Always check for the latest updates as weather conditions can change rapidly.
